"Who?" They asked together.

Ace smiled calmly: "My teacher." ”

Arak and Leon suddenly realized.

"Yes, how can we forget your teacher, Master Stark? He had a decisive influence in the imperial capital. As long as he is willing to stand up, the Inquisition will never dare to do anything to you. Leon's face suddenly relaxed a lot.

Arak was still a little worried: "However, the laws of the empire have been very strict in recent years, and the use of dark magic is a felony, will your teacher not be able to protect you at that time?" ”

Ace didn't care at all: "The laws of the royal family are indeed strict, but in the process of enforcement, most of them are for commoners, because the laws are revised by nobles, how can they embarrass themselves?" If then I expose the crimes of some nobles, I would like to see what the empire will do in front of so many people. ”

"Also, I've heard that the winner of the annual competition can ask for it. As long as this request is not excessive, the average empire will meet it. I happen to have a small request. It may be a small thing for the Empire, but it is a big thing for me! Ace said, his eyes filled with determination.

In this way, the three of them went to the backyard of the blacksmith shop to practice cooperation as soon as they had time for the next three days. Of course, they didn't really use magic, but simulated battle scenarios. In this way, the tacit understanding between the three people is getting higher and higher!

Three days have passed in the blink of an eye, and this afternoon we will start evaluating the competition.

In the attic of the Stark blacksmith's shop.

"Ace, I'd really like to see you in the competition. I've been in the Imperial Capital for several years, and every year I listen to Master Stark talk about the wonderful performances of those young talents in the judging competition. It's not easy for you to participate this year, I really want to see it. But it can't be helped, I'm just a "goblin".

"Everyone is scared and disgusted when they see me." Speaking of this, Klin's eyes were full of loss and inferiority.

Ace touched Klin's little head: "Don't worry, I'll take you there this time." Besides, you won't have to live in this attic in the future. ”

"Really?" Kling cheered almost instinctively, his eyes full of expression. But it quickly returned to normal, pouting and saying, "No, Uncle Stark is going to be angry." ”

Ace smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'll do as I say this time." As for the teacher's side, I'll figure it out. ”

With that, Ace hurried down the attic.

"No, absolutely not!" Stark said angrily, "You know what, once Kling is found, it will be sent to the pit again. It's dark there. Kling needs to inspect the vein day and night, and eventually it will be crushed or exhausted to death. Can you bear to watch it die there? ”

Ace was unusually resolute this time: "Teacher, you can take Kling to the training ground when the time comes." I will take responsibility for its safety. Don't worry, Clint is like my brother in my heart, and I will never let him get hurt! ”

After saying that, Ace walked out the door and walked in the direction of the arena.

At this time, it was already noon, but the largest training ground in the imperial capital, the "Infinite Battle Arena", was already bustling. Except for the aristocratic area near the front row, the other audience seats were basically full at this time.

Aristocracy is always like that. They will wait until the last minute to show up, which makes them even more noble and special. But they don't know that civilians don't care when they show up. They only care about who wins after the change in the rules of evaluation this year.

"Who will be the champion this year, you say?"

"That must be Arno, the young master of the Louis family. I heard that he just broke through not long ago and became a fourth-level magician. Now he must be in great strength. I think he's going to be part of the championship class. ”

"That's not necessarily true. Have you forgotten that many of the champions previously evaluated were not the most popular students, usually those who were very strong, but not the highest. ”

"Yes, except for the terrible water magicians of the Hitt family three years ago. She was the favorite that year, and she did win the final championship. ”

"The college only gives students two years of study. Whoever has made the fastest progress in the past two years will be the first! ”

The students of the academy have not yet entered the audience, but there has been a lively discussion in the audience.

In their opinion, the annual college evaluation is a big festival. After the evaluation, the results of the evaluation will also become their after-dinner conversation. Such a topic will go on for a long time.

With the commotion of the crowd, the students of the academy finally entered one by one, and behind them were the magical tutors of the academy.

Magicians have an innate temperament and charisma, which can generate sincere awe.

In peacetime, it is naturally rare for civilians to have the opportunity to meet so many magicians and magic teachers. For a moment, the entire Infinite Fighting Training Ground was filled with bursts of applause and cheers.

After the students of the academy entered the playing field, the nobles who thought they were noble were finally "late", greeting and teasing each other non-stop along the way, showing off the rings or necklaces in their hands, intentionally or unintentionally.

After the nobles took their seats one by one, a figure finally appeared in the center of the audience.

A serious middle-aged male magician walked into the conference hall. He wears a navy blue robe with water droplets embroidered on the collar. Underneath the water dripping are two wands that cross each other. This is the great magician of the water system!

"It's actually the great magician of the Hill family, it seems that he hasn't shown up for a long time?"

"In previous years, it was usually the academy's own tutors who acted as referees. At most, the magic mentor is the referee. What's happening this year? ”

"Yes, first the rules have changed, and then it is said that His Majesty may personally abide by them. Now there's a great magician, it's insane! ”

The audience was amazed and admired, because the five judges who entered in turn were all great magicians, and the last one was Gandalf, the vice president of the academy.

Five great mages of different elements, what a terrifying lineup, and even a war of annihilation against some of the smaller empires around it!

Today, however, it is only the Academy's annual evaluations and competitions. Why bother these five great magicians? Is it because His Majesty needs the escort of five great magicians to be able to observe it for himself? It shouldn't be this way. After all, five great magicians can beat up a holy magician together!

On the Mandala continent today, there is only one god and demon magician, and that is the Archbishop of the Holy Light of the Empire.

In addition, in addition to the aristocratic viewing area, there was a relatively special area where high-ranking officials and dignitaries of the main battle groups of the imperial army sit.

This year's evaluation is anything but simple, and that's what many viewers are thinking at this time.

After the five great magicians took their seats, the arena, which was still a little noisy, suddenly quieted down, as the imperial military song sounded, echoing throughout the arena. All the people in the arena stood up with a respectful attitude, including the five great magicians.
